Quick Answer
Yes, Hobby Lobby is open on Memorial Day 2026. The craft retailer runs modified holiday hours of 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM nationwide on Monday, May 26, 2026, instead of the standard 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM weekday schedule.
Hobby Lobby remains closed on Sundays year round, including the Sunday before Memorial Day (May 25, 2026). The earlier 5:30 PM Monday closure gives store associates time to spend the evening with family.
The Memorial Day Schedule
| Day | Opening Time | Closing Time | Schedule Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Monday | 9:00 AM | 8:00 PM | Regular hours |
| Memorial Day (May 26, 2026) | 9:00 AM | 5:30 PM | Modified holiday hours |
| Sunday before (May 25, 2026) | Closed | Closed | Standard weekly closure |
Doors lock promptly at 5:30 PM. I plan my Hobby Lobby run for the morning or early afternoon to leave enough time to browse the seasonal floral, fabric, and home decor aisles without getting rushed at checkout.
Holiday Sales Worth Shopping
Memorial Day weekend at Hobby Lobby tends to coincide with several overlapping promotions. The biggest savings opportunities live in a handful of recurring categories.
Home Decor
The 40 percent off marked price promotion on standard home decor, accent furniture, and wall art is the staple of the Hobby Lobby promotional calendar. Memorial Day is a strong shopping window because clearance space is being made for late-summer transition stock.
Seasonal Themes
The Spring Shop and Summer Outdoor collections are heavily discounted as the company clears shelf space for back-to-school and early-fall inventory. Patio decor, floral wreaths, and outdoor signage usually run at 50 percent off or deeper.
Craft Supplies
Standard multi-pack yarns, art paints, and jewelry-making kits cycle through 30 to 50 percent discount windows. The online weekly ad booklet on hobbylobby.com lists the categories that are active on a given week, which is the most reliable way to plan a cart.
Fabric and Trim
Fabric pricing rotates by category. Quilting cottons, fleece, fashion fabrics, and home decor fabrics each have their own discount cycles. Memorial Day week usually has at least two fabric categories in active promotion at once.
The Sunday Closure Reminder
Hobby Lobby's long-standing corporate policy keeps all stores closed on Sundays. That policy holds on Memorial Day weekend. Sunday, May 25, 2026 is a no-go for in-store shopping. The website and app remain available for online orders.
If I am planning a long-weekend craft project, I do my shopping on Friday or Saturday. Showing up Sunday afternoon and finding a dark parking lot is a frustrating way to learn about the policy.
What I Plan to Buy
- Seasonal florals. Spring stems for porch arrangements while the 50 percent off seasonal markdown is still active.
- Frame and matting basics. The framing and custom matting departments cycle through promotional pricing roughly twice a quarter.
- Yarn for a summer project. The multi-pack value bundles are the cheapest pricing point of the year on common acrylic and cotton blends.
- Canvas and acrylic paints. Useful to stock up when the studio supply category lands in a deep discount window.
How to Confirm Your Local Store Hours
Most locations honor the national 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM Memorial Day schedule, but a handful of stores in major metro markets or in unique lease arrangements may deviate. The ZIP code locator on hobbylobby.com displays the exact holiday hours for any specific store address.
Tips for a Smooth Memorial Day Hobby Lobby Run
Bring a Coupon Strategy
Hobby Lobby's standing 40 percent off one regular-priced item coupon is occasionally restricted during major promotion weeks. Check the homepage or the weekly ad before assuming the coupon is active.
Use the App for Aisle Search
The Hobby Lobby app has an aisle search feature that points me to the exact bay where a specific SKU lives. Useful on a holiday with shorter store hours where I do not want to wander.
Avoid the Final 30 Minutes
Checkout lines back up sharply in the last 30 minutes before any holiday close. I aim to be in line by 5:00 PM to clear the registers comfortably.
The Bottom Line
Hobby Lobby is open on Memorial Day 2026 from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM nationwide. Stores remain closed on the Sunday before. Home decor sits at 40 percent off, seasonal Spring and Summer Outdoor collections run at deeper clearance, and craft and fabric categories rotate through 30 to 50 percent discount windows. Shop early in the day, check the weekly ad before you leave, and use the locator tool to confirm your specific store's hours.
